This is the award that my hubby won at the BBQ last night. It's for having the most relatives working in the company. I thought it was funny.

Mark, Jonathan and I took Dawkins and Saki for a walk in the park. We came across an area with so many of these butterflies.

DAY AT KNOEBELS!
Poor Emma tripped and went head first into the wall. She eventually had to go to the emergency room to get glued. All the kids, even the adults, had a great time. We didn't get rained on until about 5pm.

Rainy day today. The rain started last night and didn't stop until about 4pm. We went to the clubhouse and played pool and ping pong. Kristen even took a nap with Emma.

Kayaking, playing at the beach and fishing...Oh my!

My kids and I were invited up to Kristen's mountain house at the Arrowhead Lakes. We dubbed ourselves as the Ya Ya Sisters.

August 19th

Brianna had her last game of the summer season. Her team lost by one basket, so she was a little bummed. She played well.

August 18th

It was a rainy day today so I looked at my pictures from yesterday. This is one of my favorites.

August 17th

Took Saki to Assateague for the first time. She loved the beach. We didn't like having to bathe her after though.

August 16th

The kids and I got the bathrooms and the kitchen cleaned. As I dusted, I decided to take a picture of Brianna's rollercoaster.

August 15th

The kids and I are taking the next two days to recoup and do some cleaning. I came across Brianna's carnival creations. This is the ferris wheel.

August 14th

We went from Delaware to Reading, PA for a pool party with Brandon & Michelle. It was nice to relax and watch Brandon throwing Jonathan around. Thanks for the entertainment!

August 13th

Okay...my daughter is definitely "Team Jacob". We saw this cut out in the mall and she asked me to take her picture with it.
Happy Friday the 13th!

August 12th

Today I helped out at the Freedom's Foundation in Valley Forge. Mark and I did green screening with 8 students and the Purple Feet Foundation. One of the teachers was wearing this shirt. I would love to have this hanging in my school.

August 11th

I bought a purple cover for my Macbook but it was for the new Macbook. I ordered this new one and it finally came in with a keyboard cover too!

August 10th

I need to get myself a shirt like this for the first day of school!!

August 9th

I came up from doing the wash and saw my dog taking over the couch. I guess she likes the new pillows too.

August 8th

Mark and Adam went to a soccer game last week. When Adam texted me his pic, I asked for a better one. He sent me this. I couldn't stop laughing!

August 7th

While driving to drop the kids off to camp, my husband and I saw this on the back of a car. I couldn't help but laugh. What a funny twist on the "Jesus" fish. I need to order one for my car!

August 6th

Another image from the community night out. It's amazing how my kids see people in costumes and want their picture with them...my kids are strange! :)

August 5th

National Community Night Out in my neighborhood. The kids wanted a picture with their favorite dessert!

August 4th

This was a unique wall hanging that I came across. It kind of reminded me of a menorah.

August 3rd

Today was the memorial service for a dear friend of the family. Bart, you will be missed!
"In Jewish tradition there is no death since both body and soul continue on, that is, return to their source...Death is neither a decree nor a punishment, but is a part of creation (Kenneth Kramer)."

August 2nd

My friend has a mug with this picture on it. I thought it was cute.

August 1st

Took J & R over to their friend's house yesterday. Their friend has a huge bush type tree in their front yard that attracts butterflies. This is just one that I was able to take a picture of.
